Today I said goodbye to a friend and a neighbor. This woman has been kind and supportive and always THERE since I stepped foot off the airplane that bore me to this island. She is a quiet and mellow soul, sweet and quirky. We live very different lives, yet she has never been anything but a friend. I realized that in my self-absorbed furor of snarky antisocietism, I may have overlooked an opportunity to be a great friend to her. For that I am sorry, as she deserves loyal and constant friendship, which I fully intended but just never got around to. It was an oversight on my part.
I suppose I could claim a natural propensity toward self-obsession, as my horoscope says I am prideful and possess an enormous ego. (Both these things are true, I might add.) I hate to claim such weakness of spirit, though, that I fall victim to those things to which I am supposedly highly susceptible. It IS in my nature to refuse to get in line.
I sometimes wish I could be the thoughtful person who remembers her friends' birthdays and expresses concern when they are sick. I am not that person. The truth of the matter is that I am far more interested in myself than I am anyone else. I'd rather talk and think about ME. So should everyone else, in my view.
I'm only being honest.
Farewell, Chris.

it's not only all about you. it's all about me too. now I know why you seem to be such a kindred spirit to me, I also mean well but always fall short of my own expectations when it comes to being there for someone else. even my own kids.sometimes I call them on their birthdays, but sometimes I forget. it was easier when they were all here with me. but since they're not, well, out of sight, out of mind. doesn't mean I don't love them. you know what I mean.
